Miss VAN ZANDr is now Mrs. August
Vincent Theodore Spies, she having been
married to that worthy by proxy. She
has proved that "when a woman will, she
will, you may depend ont" 1t was
managed in this wise: The fair and
foolish Nina had a proxy written where
by August Vincent Theodore Spies
agreed to be represented by his brother
Henry w, in the performance of the
ceremony, Nina with her father and
mother and the whole brood of the Spies,
excepting August Vincent Theodore, re-
paired to justice shop where Henry ".
made answer for his brother and Nina
was married to the selfish brute by proxy.
It takes woman's ingenuity to overcome
obstacles.

A SENSATIONAL story comes from CHI
cage bearing upon the anarchists. For
some time the anarchist meetings have
been unusually well attended. A plot
has been discovered whereby the Jail
court was to be reached by tunnel, a
building near having been rented from
which the anarchists could direct opera
tons. The building was rented osten~
sadly for business purposes, but 1t was
so situated that from it to the jail court
tunnel could easily be made. The be-
lief is that the object of the anarchists
was to blow up jail, prisoners, officers
and all on the day of execution, should
that ever arrive.

The arrest of Mrs. DR.. Hatchard for
larceny in Milwaukee, has caused SEN
sation. She is woman of %, fine look
ing and belongs to the upper crust. "
Herself and husband have not lived on
the best terms for some time. He is
much older than she and seems to be
very jealous. He may be much wrong
ed husband but is too ready to speak of
his wife's short comiDgs. He says she
drinks, and has spent the nights IN diff
ferent parts of the city with strange men,
that he has intercepted letters written
her by men making appointments. Mrs.
Hatchard was arrested for stealing a fur
cape from the store of L. L. Kelley.
Her husband practically procured the
arrest. She was suspected of having
committed other thefts. She failed to
get bail and spent Sunday night in cell.
She appeared in court on Monday richly
dressed and explained that the cape had
been left by LADY patient as payment
for an uuprofessional act performed by
the Doctor.

THE Sunday Telegraph deserves the
thanks of every true American for its
chastisement of Badeau, the self consti-
tuted laureate of the Grant family, for his
efforts to disparage Sumner. Badeau
having exhausted the language of adula
ton in writing Of his master, sought to
cast reproach upon Charles Sumner be-
cause he did not approve of some things
in the administration of Grant. No one
could read the foul ISLANDERS upon the
great statesman without feeling of in
dignation, and it is particularly appro-
pirate that a soldier paper should pro-
nOunce them untrue and monstrous. No
one will deny that the country owes a
a great deal to Grant. But Charles Sum
ners services, though less distinguished,
were scarcely less important. and in the
field of statemanship he was, as it is
natural he should be, pre- -eminently
Grants superior.
Grant has been lauded, perhaps not
beyond his merits but at least to the
utmost limit of temperate eulogy. When
to sustain everything he has done it be
comes necessary to assail the character
of such men as Charles Sumner, it is
much wiser to admit that there was a
possibility of Grant committing mistakes
particularly in the line of craftsmanship.

AN Irisbman is person without a
country and is generally safe subject of
ridicule for the darlings of society. But
it is doubtful whether any foreigner as
poor III purse as Michael Davitt would
receive more honors than he did even if
there was an equality in brain. 1t may
be that the Irish people are too sensitive
and too prone to cOnstrue as ridicule
what is pleasantly without a touch Of
malice. Certain it is that but few per
sons of acknowledged Irish antecedents
are to be found in social circles avowedly
American. Of course there is no artist &C.
racy behind the poor Irishman all
''family" reflects no honor upon him nor
excuses any departure from strict pro-
priety Isn't there a reason in the ex-
clusion of the Irishman from society for
his becoming prize fighter and a ward
politician? Man must have society.

THERE can be hardly any doubt that
President Cleveland will receive the dem
ocratic nomination for the presidency in
1888. He is deemed the most available
man, though by no means the most de-
sirable. Neither party has yet advanced
beyond the position that the offices are
the main thing and neither party will
make an attempt to break down musty
prejudice if to do so endaDgers the Off
ces. There is no party which hss been
in power that has any courage. is all
expediency. 1t dares not fight ror if
to do so is to invite active opposition.
Perhaps as an anti-slavery party sprang
up, free trade party acknowledging nc
| allegiance to either of the old ones may
soon have birth, and, let it not be for
gotten that as the old whig party died
when the anti-slavery party grew strong.
SO viii the democratic party quit the
stage of action when the free trade party
will have disseminated its doctrines
among the people. The democratic party
is throwing away a chance to renew its
youth and via the confidence and thu
love of the people in its fear that it may
lose the offices. 1t it does not become
the champion of tariff reform its power
is gone and with ii go the offices. There
is even policy in principle.

The n. Y. Tribune wants the Cullo.n
Inter State Commerce bill vetoed by
Cleveland. 1t would be strange if The
Tribune did not. The Tribune is the
mouthpiece of Jay Gould. 1t wants to
use Garland in its efforts to secure a veto
of the bill. 1t says that in 1886 Garland
while in the senate denied the constitu-
tionality of similar bill then pending in
Congress. That if he recommends the
bill now for the Presidents approval he
will be acting inconsistently with his
utterances while he was a senator. In
advising approval he will at least be act,
ing in accordance with the wishes of the
people

WHAT in the name of common sense is
the use in talking of restoring American
shipping, whec the commercial policy of
the United States is directed toward
making unnecessary any American ship
ping? The protective tariff is protest
against trade with any foreign nation.
We must ourselves provide everything
in the line of necessity and luxury.
Why then should we have subsidized
merchant mariner Trade is unrestricted
between lake ports and we hear of no
scarcity of vessels on the lakes.

PooR Miss VAN ZANDT is no longer
the rage, but Just what she had reason
to expect her folly would result in,-the
laughing stock of every one. EEven Vas
sar denies her and claims she had never
passed beyond the preparatory Glass;
And then the brutal nature of the man
she fell in love with, as evidenced by his
informing the public that he and Miss
Van Zaudt would live as man and wife
even if they were not allowed to marry.
1t is no longer romantic. 1t has become
disgusting.

The term ''bucket shop" has been used
a great deal of late years. Its origin is
explained thus: The Chicago board of
trade would not permit deal of less than
5000 bushels. This caused division
and the seceders became Incorporated
aud caught the business Of the men of
small means. The members of the old
boart!! would refer derisively to the small
deals of the new board by stating they
would go down and get bucketful of
grain. Thus the name originated,

The Appleton Post describes the e.
5. engineers as lot of imbeciles or will
ling partisans of that section which com
mands the greatest political influence
The truth lies between the two classifi
cations given. They are largely theorists
ana have very little practical knowledge
They can frame theories to suit existing
public opinion without much reference
to the matter to which the theory is in
tended to apply. The Hennepin Canal
is what common sense would pronounce
humbug, But the engineers approve
it and disapprove the Fox and Wiscon-
sin Improvement. The reason is obvious.
There is practical unanimity in Illinois
and Iowa over the Hennepin Capal. -
Chicago is large city and has an infu-
entail press which favors the Henuepin
route. The engineers are not going to
antagonize any such unanimous senti-
ment, and they readily report 'favorably
in Difference to harmonious opinion and
not at all that the route justifies it.
The Fox and Wisconsin is not backed
by even the state through which the
route lies. The engineers can safely sit
down on it and but feebly cry of pro-
test will be raised. The engineers re.
ports do but reflect what appears most
popular. If Wisconsin, Iowa aud Min
nesota demanded the Improvement of the
Fox and Wisconsin the engineers would
quickly discover that the improvement
is practicable and demanded in the inter
ests of commerce. Your U. S. engineer
is most compliant person, but you must
have ''infuence" before he becomes SO.

THE letter of General Rawlins to Gen
eral Grant during the siege of Vlcks-
burg is manly, patriotic and an indie
pendent one. Although it settles the
matter of Grants drinking habits, the
fact that he took Raw lin S advice, though
it was sharp and even merciless, and
ever after spoke highly of him and en-
tertained a high regard for him, proves
that Grant could appreciate the charac-
ter of man who could speak as plainly
as Rawlins did.
1t seems while Grant was on a frontier
post he contracted the habit of drinking
to excess. He joined temperance or
ganization but soon after broke his
pledge, and while in California drank SO
heavily that he escaped dismissal by re-
signing. When he re entered the army
he re commenced his drinking habits,
and after the capture of Fort Donelson
went off on spres and came very near
being dismissed from. the army, He
made pledges quite often but broke them.
When before Vicksburg Rawlins handed
him 4 letter in which he mentioned his
lapses from sobriety and the duty he
owed the country, and his responsibility
for the lives of the men. He then asks
Grant to consider the letter as friendly in
its purpose. But demands that lie
(Rawlins) be instantly relieved of COM
mand the moment Grant took another
drop of liquor. Grant had the true man
hood to appreciate that in the letter and
did quit drinking. No man ever after
had a closer place in his friendship than
had Rawlins. He was described as
"Grant's conscience"

The Sentinel wants to be informed
more definitely what is meant by the
words: ''using the telegraph for partisan
purposes" as employed by The Pilot in
last weeks issue. This is a charming
affectation of innocence on the part of
The Sentinel. 1t knows quite well that
the Associated Press in 1884 did not err
in judgment in estimating the result in
New York upon incomplete returns. 1t
knows that the Associated Press was an
instrument used by the republican man
ayers to falsify reports with view to
preparing the people to peaceably accept
the results of coup de tat which would
rive the state to Blaine. And Jay Gould
put the telegraph system at their service.
Reliable returns were suppressed. Jay
Gould was not ignorant OF tie manner IN
which New York had voted, with no bet
ter information at hand than the Sin
complete returns" which are now urged
as an excuse for the shameless attempt
to steal the vote of state. The fear of
an insurrection operated as wonderful
stimulant in completing the returns"
and arriving at an estimate" sustained
later by the official count. Strange that
Jay Gould should compliment Grover
Cleveland on his election to the presi-
dency at a time when the 'incomplete
returns" gave the state to Blaine. The
Sentinel should not indulge in such
hypocritical denial about estimates land
sreturns." 1t should not assume that
all its readers are fools, and that its repu-
tation will not suffer by such transparent
sophistries as are contained in its editor
